SMRPG wasn't released in Europe either, at least Mega Man is sort of known there.

Recette's really starting to die off now.


Is there a chance that she might wind up placing last, or is it not fast enough?

Missile was 635 up at this stage and his rally didn't seem to die off entirely for another 3 hours. Recette could be in trouble if she was relying on that for her lead.

It's kinda surprising that all of FF has been looking pretty decent this contest excluding the FF7 and non-Squall 8 crew.

Is anyone suddenly tempted to take X > VII in a games contest?

Tifa looked great and Aeris was fine, it's not an FFVII problem.

And he needs 4chan not to start another rally, like they did with Catherine over and over.

But I'm not doing the expert contest, so who cares. Go Recette, make this contest funnier.

LMFAO this division is awesome. Recette's obviously being rallied hard, but she also has to be benefitting from the match pic. She looks hilariously adorable next to those two.

Also, I'm surprised people are worrying about Mega Man based on the Karp match. If anything, MM looked like a champ there.


Ah, yes, that's right! One of my favorite match pics of the round, because the three really interact so well. Travis's beam saber pointing straight at Recette and Kratos just glaring at Travis because he knows full well the implications behind the weapon in that game and apparently that's too sick even for Kratos.

Yeah, the most FFX can ever hope to do is be #2, and it might already be that.

How bad did FF7 look really? Seph's puts him at what, ~71% over Midna in 1v1, Cloud ~73% over Prinny, and Tifa ~70% over Chun-Li.

I think the main bad result is Vincent only 60-40'ing KOS-MOS; I was hoping for around a doubling. But he got poor seeding and was almost the least expected FF7 character to advance. I think that played a role.

This has to be more stuffing, right


Nothing really seems "off" at the moment. I'd have to wait for the match to end to see if anything's unusually high, and besides I haven't completely established a baseline for some of these countries, but everything looks fine for now.

Are you guys still discussing FFVII's round 1 results? Has Ridley taught you nothing?

Anyway, Travis with another decent cut, he could really do this.

Oh yeah, that's right! I was on the FFWiki a little while ago and I found out that apparently there are no female party members in FFXV; the "female lead" is actually a villain or something like that?

Kinda sucks there's no edge to the expert game when you know everybody on the leaderboard is being ultra-conservative all the time. Whether Travis or Recette gets 2nd I doubt anything changes.

Anyone who has Recette winning (if she holds on) will definitely make gains on those on the leaderboard since Travis was probably the overwhelming favorite among us.

The Expert Challenge will get a lot more interesting when the value of each match jumps up. Something like, say, Yuna/Dragonborn (w/ Tifa) or Vivi/Ganondorf (w/ Mario) matters a whole lot more than this stuff, and possible R3 matches like Tifa/Auron, Pikachu/Sora/Blue, Kefka/Epona (or GlaDOS/Ike) will see a lot of meaningful risks taken. Epona/Ike/GlaDOS will be a bit of a breaking point I think.

The only reason to make that pick is if you're a long way off the leaderboard and need to take risks or you have huge conviction that Recette would win. An undecided person in contention will always pick the strong favourite to avoid the risk.

Of course another possibility is that one person nails 4/5 debatable matches (or, better still, unexpected upsets) in a row and just kills the competition by forcing everyone to take huge risks to catch up which don't pan out. Hopefully won't happen, though.
